ORGANIC BLUEBERRY POWDER – ANTI-OXIDENT

Description

Organic Blueberry Powder – Anti-oxident

Blueberries were first popularized as a “super fruit” due mainly to the high in vitro antioxidant capacity of their abundant polyphenolic compounds. However, direct antioxidant action of polyphenolic compounds in situ appears unlikely due to their poor bioavailability. Nonetheless, research regarding foods for health performed during the past 2 decades has revealed a multitude of ways in which blueberries are bioactive and beneficial to health.

An increasing body of evidence suggests that blueberries and anthocyanins reduce biomarkers and risk of diseases that constitute major socioeconomic burdens, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and neurological decline. In these observational analyses, anthocyanins often provide benefits over and above other plant food phytochemicals, including other flavonoids. The intake of even moderate amounts of blueberries (approximately 2 Tablespoons of SCF Powder per day) or (24g) daily is associated with disease risk reduction.
